my lad 15 does lots of skateboarding etc so he is always wearing trainers.The other day he removed his trainers(possibly for the first time in weeks) i thought he had trod in something very unsavoury, to put it politely his feet hummed. I put his trainers (at arms length) in the shed which immediately cured the rodent problem.(the mice threw themselves on the traps) unfortunately his feet still hum does ayone know of a cream or a treatment for his feet. thanks in advance Wayne

It is relatively easy to control most cases of smelly feet by taking a nmber of preventative steps:
Good foot hygiene to reduce bacteria to low levels is the first place to start:
� Bath your feet daily in lukewarm water with a mild soap and dry thoroughly, especially between the toes.
� Change your socks at least once a day (change your shoes as well if you do sweat a lot).
� Dust your feet frequently with a foot powder (always wipe beteen the toes to remove excess moisture, so that it does not 'clog' between the toes).
Wear thick, soft socks to help absorb the moisture. Natural fibre socks such as wool or cotton and other absorbent materials are better.
Avoid the use of nylon socks or plastic shoes - wear shoes that are made of leather, canvas, mesh or other materials that let the feet breathe.
Its is best not to wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row - they need time to dry out. Remove the innersoles from to help with the drying.
Treatment of smelly feet
If the preventative measures above for foot odor do not help, then further investigations by a health professional and more aggressive management may be indicated.
Stronger medications (eg aluminum chloride hexahydrate 20% solution) may be prescribed. This needs to be applied to the foot every night.
Electric-current devices that pass a small electrical current through the skin can effectively diminish perspiration for several weeks.
In the most very severe cases, a surgeon can cut a nerve that controls the sweating.
hope this helps, LMAO at the mouse joke! ;-)
